I wish that John would give it up. He will NEVER become president. What I would like is a reasonable alternative to Hillary, and he ain't it!

I voted for Kerry...hell, I would have vote for Terri Schiavo over Bush, but he's persona non grata in 2008 if there's a lick of sense anywhere in the democratic party.

What I wish is that there was a reasonable alternative Independent candidate who had some sense AND had a prayer of winning, but those days are over.

Shame, shame.

I love Kerry with every political bone in my body. My age was the only thing keeping me from giving him my vote.

Clinton, however, is full of **** and I pray daily that she will never become president. I, along with a large group of plans, have promised to move to Canada shortly after her presidency if it's the case. We would have moved with Bush's re-election, but age and financial reasons have held us back. However, we're preparing for 2008.

It never fails how the American people can be so easily brainwashed; be it by a Democrat or Republican.

I have to wonder why anyone would post anything on this forum from the NY Post.

April 23, 2005 -- WASHINGTON —

. . . A Marist College poll in February asked Americans who would get their vote if the 2008 primary were being held today. Thirty-nine percent said Sen. Clinton and only 21 percent said Kerry.

In Minnesota, Clinton thrilled Democrats with her red-meat speech, accusing President Bush of ushering in "a brave new world of extremism."

She painted Republican lawmakers as "extras in the movie 'I, Robot' " and said Bush's call for an "ownership society" amounts to trying to turn America into a "you're-on-your-own society."

Clinton is on the right track.

Women make up half our population. It's time for a female President. Since Libby Dole won't run it comes down to Hilary. It's time to rid ourselves of the notion that women are incapable of steering the ship of state.

As much as I would love to have a female president, I would never vote for anyone JUST because she is a woman. I want the best candidate to win.

I would definitely vote for Hillary Clinton.

She appears to understand that the majority of citizens are moderates and abhor extremism. If she starts early enough -- inventing her own anti-extremism buzz phrases to catch the attention of the SHEEP -- I'm sure most of them would choose to graze on her side of the pasture rather than graze with the extremists.

Extremists: The hypocritical, self-ordained "people of faith" who are now ranting and raving because the rest of us don't want to dine on their less than benevolent, self-serving message of exclusion and oppression.

Interesting question mysteryman, though it pains me to see that you have posted it thrice...I myself would vote for Hilary.But who would win remains to be seen. If they both become the candidates that is.

Hillary in a walk. Low voter turn out. Lose the South completely. The Southern conservative is not voting for a black woman. Period.

Kerry took too much time to find his voice, when he did he did well at the end.

Remember, he did come from far back inthe polls.

Finding your voice-that thing which makes a connection between yourself and your audience or voters-is a vital thing. Kery took too long to find it.

Still, I can't help but think, if things go badly this term for Bush-"Al Gore".

He never got it started in 2004, but I think people will look at him again.

Reason? All the polls had him way down with a week and a half left in 2000. then he really turned up the heat. He attacked Bush directly,and made up a 10 point deficit in the popular vote in 10 days, winning a popular vote victory.

If he had started getting serious earlier, if he had found his voice a few days earlier, he would have won both the popular and electoral vote.

One incident especially sticks in my mind.

It was few days to go before the election in 2000, the polls had Bush way up.

With only a week or so to go before the balloting, Bush actually had taken a day off-he felt he was that far ahead. Gore, on the other hand, went up to the Midwest.

With his candidacy seemingly fading, (and the Republicans doing everything possible to reinforce that idea), Gore cut a forlorn figure in the Midwest, speaking hoarsely in the cold, driving rain to night time "crowds" of only a few dozen, in some cases.

It really looked like he should have just packed it in, as the polls indicated. Yet, he fought on, and got a popular vote victory, and within a hair's breadth of an electoral victory.

People who fight that hard when the chips are down, and everyone is telling them to "face reality" and pack it in, and then damn near pull it off after all-those are usually the people who come back to win eventually.
My guess is Gore in 2008.

Oh, and when Kerry "found his voice", he had nothing to say LOL.

Except to lie about the draft, that is.
